See http://www.jabber.org/ for detailed information about
what Jabber is about.  The basic idea however is that Jabber
is bridging software - a definition of a client that can
talk [ICQ], [AOL Instant Messenger], [IRC], [MSN Messenger] and other instant messaging protocols.

There are at least three attempts at a Tcl Jabber client:

 What: Tkabber
 Where: http://tkabber.jabber.ru/en/
 Description: A very complete implementation of Jabber. According to
        [1] it is the most complete version of Jabber for Linux. 
        Should run under other platforms too (it's pure Tcl/Tk).

 What: Coccinella
 Where: http://hem.fyristorg.com/matben/
 Description: Tcl/Tk whiteboard, shared desktop, text chat with images, MP3, etc.
        supporting plugins and compatible with Jabber.
        Uses GPL licensing.  Should run on most
        Linux, MacOS, Windows, and other platforms with appropriate
        Tcl/Tk extensions ported.
        Currently at version 0.94.1 .

 What: Tcl Jabber
 Where: http://jabbertcl.sf.net/
 Description: At least two Tcl related Jabber software projects
        are in progress - JabberLib is a Jabber Client Library

        Jabber is an open source attempt to consolidate the various
        instant messaging protocols available on the internet.
